Who a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super is actually for
This is flagship silicon, and flagship silicon has an awkward property: at 1080p it spends most of its time waiting. There is simply not enough pixel work at that resolution to keep 8,448 shading units busy, so the processor becomes the limit and a large part of what you paid for sits idle.
It earns its price at 4K, at high refresh rates, or with ray tracing turned up — workloads heavy enough to actually saturate it. If you play at 1080p on a 60 Hz panel, a card several tiers down will give you the same experience.
Is 16 GB enough?
At 1440p and high settings, 16 GB clears every title we model with room to spare. Memory is not the constraint on this card, and it is unlikely to become one within its useful life.
